Mate, get some pics up:bart:


So what's Alan been up to since he moved in.....Besides playing with his trains.

Re-plastered a wall in the living room

Fitted new work tops in the kitchen

Built a breakfast bar in the kitchen

Dismantled a shed, moved it and rebuilt it in 3 hours

Layed a new path that goes halfway down the garden to his shed

He's also started on the garden, or rather the area next to the house going back to the garage. I can't believe how much of it he has already cleared. Popped over today as I was bored....big mistake.....He gave a work coat and some gloves and we shifted about a tonne of gravel but rain stopped play. It's a slow process but he's slowly clearing the area for his next project....the garage....

I swear he's a fish, can't stop moving or he'll drown:).

Even through the winter when we had all that snow he was still at it. First he wanted his car behind gates, not just the ones on his drive.

Next on his list was a workshop (my retirement bungalow)

So after weeks of clearing weeds shifting soil to the front and bagging up sacks and sacks of rocks, he weas ready to starting building. Which he did 2 days ago.

Ha :D
Love it........looks like a good job in fairness and I bet he thoroughly enjoyed doing it too. I must admit I often find jobs like this more enjoyable than cocking around with cars.......at least I can use a hammer and paint brush without anyone taking the piss!
